Inspired by the iconic dunk that LeBron James threw down in his first regular season game in 2003, the “Dunkman” color scheme has been attributed to a number of silhouettes within James’ signature discography with the Beaverton brand. Having recently reminisced on the pitch-dark ensemble across the LeBron 21, the Nike LeBron Witness 8 now joins the famed lineage of neon-accented models in an unofficial capacity.

Introduced to the world via a sample of the Zoom LeBron 2, the famed “Dunkman” aesthetic now lays claim to the latest in James’ cost-effective line of signatures – albeit without any greyscale accents. Mirroring the pitch-dark compositions of the LeBron 7 and LeBron 18 counterparts, a dominant jet-black treatment ensues across the entirety of the model. Composing a near-clad effort, everything from the quilted quarter to the best base layer and sole unit underfoot is cast in a colorless vein. Meanwhile, the trim of the profile swoosh, the Max Air cushioning system in the heel and the duo of lions insignias are stricken with a titular volt finish.

Enjoy a detailed look at the LeBron Witness 8 “Dunkman” below as we await further release details.

Speaking of The King, the LeBron 21 “Multi-Color” is currently scheduled to release on November 17th in grade school sizing.
